Dear parent , I understand your concerns but it seems that your child has developed a mild allergic reaction towards vaccination . allergic reaction requires the administration of an antihistaminic as citrizine once before going to bed until the fever subsides. to relieve the fever you can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup every 8 hours
